While the historic main building of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is closed for a massive multi-year renovation project, do not remove this destination from your itinerary. Immediately adjacent stands Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the world's first publicly accessible art storage facility.

Unlike traditional museums that display only a small fraction of their holdings, the Depot houses over 151,000 works of art in visible storage racks, active restoration studios, and climate-controlled chambers. Visitors can watch art conservators at work through glass bridges and navigate dynamic storage spaces that feel like a futuristic sci-fi archive.
